Here are some of my ‘action’ quotes – hope you like them and the cartoon!?
Well done is better than well said. – Benjamin Franklin
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing – Albert Einstein
Action = Success
We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. – Frank Tibolt
An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied. – Arnold Glasow
Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold – but so does a hard-boiled egg. – Author Unknown
I did this cartoon years ago – before computers(It’s in watercolour!) for a company in the UK. They produced water meters and I made the word ‘Success’ up of drawings of actual meters. It was the illustrate the point:
“Quality is everyone’s business”
We all contribute to the success of our business.
We all can contribute to making it better.
Recently someone saw this cartoon on my Cartoon Studio web site and asked me to update/redraw it….
Building Success one brick at a time!
Here are a few quotes on ‘building success’….
“Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough” – Unknown
“I think this team has done a good job, even when we were losing last year, of forgetting about the game before, … This team is really resilient. Right now, we’re just building on success.” – Jay Cutler
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. – Winston Churchill
“To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already there.” – Richard Bach.
Imagination is the process of harnessing and utilizing the creative power of the mind. Imagination resides in the boundless realm of the mind where you can travel anywhere at the speed of thought. When you soar with the wondrous creative powers of your imagination, you possess a first-class ticket to the life of your dreams.
Imagine Your Ideal Life. You are not required to accept your present circumstances. As you summon up the feeling of living your ideal life right here right now, you allow the Energy of your thoughts and feelings to produce the physical manifestation that you desire. When you employ the power of imagination, you are no longer limited by external conditions. You are in charge. If you can imagine it, you can experience it.
As you access the power of your imagination, inspiration will bubble up. As you fill your subconscious with thoughts of what you would like to experience, you can bring anything you desire into your life. Imagination is the language through which you communicate with the Universe. As you develop your body through physical exercise, you can develop your imagination through mental exercise.
Exercise Your Imagination
Imagination Exercise. Have a clear vision of your ideal life and energize it with the power of imagination. Imagine how your ideal life looks, feels, sounds, smells, and tastes. Each morning spend a few minutes imagining the way you want your day to play out. Imagine feeling great, moving through your day in a strong, vibrant body, enjoying pleasant interactions with others, doing fulfilling work with clarity and purpose. If you are visually oriented, you will see distinct pictures in your mind. It’s OK if you don’t. Imagining with feeling is all that’s required. As you imagine vividly and with feeling, you are creating the circumstances for all your desires to flow to you quickly and easily.
Let’s say you’re planning a vacation to a place you’ve always dreamed of going. It’s a great idea to spend some time imagining how wonderful this vacation will be. You see yourself strolling in a rose garden on a beautiful spring day with a gentle breeze. You feel the thrill of parasailing over a sparkling turquoise sea. You see yourself resting peacefully in a hammock on the beach in perfect weather. When you use your imagination, you can enjoy the same vacation many times – before you go – while you’re there – and when you’re back at the office.
Be There Now! The Universe does not distinguish between what is actually happening now and what you are imagining or remembering. To the Universe, it’s always the Eternal Now. So, in addition to imagining a fabulous future, you can use your imagination to relive the wonderful times of your life. Relive your triumphs and successes – when you did something you weren’t sure you could do. Who says the great moments have to be once-in-a-lifetime events? You can replay and relive them as often as you like, just as you enjoy repeatedly listening to your favorite music or watching your favorite movies or eating your favorite foods. Relive the joy of the vacation, the promotion, the baby’s first steps in your imagination and you will attract even more good times to cherish.
As you charge your imagination with emotion, your mental picture will attract its physical equivalent. Vividly think about what you want and then SEE it clearly in your imagination. The power of imagination speeds up the process from desire to manifestation. As you experience in your imagination what you wish to experience in your life, you will soon be living the life of your dreams.
What are you willing to imagine?

Attitude is the Key to Life…by John Ahern
Sometimes striving for that balance includes a good laugh and a change in your attitude. Laughing and smiling are great therapeutical tools as well as calming to the body and soul. One of my most practised rituals is to always smile while driving. This is very difficult at times and you may find yourself forcing on that smile.
Try it today and every day for the next couple of weeks and watch your attitude to life and especially driving lift. Then discover the truly wonderful feeling of an automatic smile creeping across all the lines of worry and concern as you sit in the driver’s seat.
Read the following attitude changing message sent to me by a good friend.
As you read the following article think about the way you perceive your own attitude. Enjoy and remember to smile…
David received a parrot for his birthday. This parrot was fully grown with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren’t expletives were, to say the least, rude.David tried hard to change the bird’s attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything that came to mind. Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird, the bird got worse.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, David put the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird squawking, kicking, and screaming, and then, suddenly, all was quiet.
David was frightened that he might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto David’s extended arm and said, “I’m sorry that I offended you with my language and actions. I ask for your forgiveness. I will try to check my behaviour…”
David was astounded at the bird’s change in attitude and was about to ask what changed him when the parrot continued, “May I ask what the chicken in the freezer did?”
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. You can draw several lessons from this article, like: ” I was blue about my shoes, until upon the street, I met a man with no feet.” Attitude is the key. I must take responsibility for my own happiness and become “the master of my fate”.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
